The magic of ‘Bigscreen’ promises more fun for more people

July 18, 2017

User feedback from previous versions of Bigscreen has prompted an overhaul of the social VR app to improve multiplayer streaming and allow for more users per room to engage in social activities. Bigscreen founder Darshan Shankar explains the method behind the magic as follows: “Our new technology takes advantage of Nvidia and AMD graphics cards for hardware accelerated encoding and decoding, enabling flawless 1080p30 streaming for all Bigscreen Multiplayer users.” Although available now in beta format, the update will also come with expanded support for Windows 7 and for laptops with Nvidia Optimus graphics.
